Where do you go if you have women's health questions? Do you go to your favorite doctor-like website? Do you look through magazines or do you just ask your friends? Maybe you actually go and visit your doctor? I have found that when it comes to questions of a sensitive nature, I'd much rather go online and try to find an answer that way than talk face to face with somebody I know. For example, if I have a general question I have no problem polling some of my female friends. How long is the average woman's cycle? 28 days? Okay, no big deal to talk about with friends or family. But when there's something that isn't quite right, or maybe even wrong, I'd rather keep it to myself than do an old fashioned friends poll.

Women's magazines are great ways to anonymously find the answers to your women's health questions. In almost every magazine I can think of, there's a write in portion where readers send in questions to be answered by an expert in the field. Many magazines employ doctors or OB/GYNs to answer the questions that are on the minds of their readers, and if you catch enough of them it's possible you'll find the answer to your own question. This has happened several times to me, even. Also, I tend to save magazines for future reference or for collage material, so sometimes I'll have a question, remember it was answered in a magazine, and then go find the answer out of my old stacks.

Overall, though, I know there's nothing to be embarrassed about when it comes to women's health questions. Doctors get asked some crazy questions each and every day, so there's probably nothing you can ask them that they haven't already heard several times already (maybe even that day alone!). So while it's okay to hope for your questions to be answered in a magazine, I suggest you ask your doctor, first.
